FAQ
Does cleaning metadata change the content?
No, only the invisible document properties are removed.
Are signatures affected?
Any change invalidates a digitally signed PDF's signature. Don't clean signed documents.
Are names on the pages removed too?
No. Text visible on the page isn't metadata; this tool only cleans file properties.
